€75 million is the money saved from the failed transfers of Jackson and Kondogbia. €150 million was just media speculation, we don't know for sure how much we can spend. As a matter of fact, the Mr. Bee deal will be finalized only at the end of July, so right now we're being financed solely by Fininvest.

Not sure, mid to late July maybe?

Friendlies usually start around Augast if I'm not mistaken

goal.com I now they are not reliable

Thanks.

That means that currently we are going to read only rumors and nothing else, cos Galliani wont be making a move without getting those money from Bee.

Papers saying the money will be loaned from Fininvest until the takeover goes through

I gotta say han, it seems to me you were partially right. While Juventus snatched out Mandzukic (who was supposed to be a Milan target according to some unreliable sources), Inter got Monaco's Kondogbia, we've been now linked with unknown players.

I think we start training around the start of July, so only in a couple of weeks.



Well, I don't think anyone saw coming that things will turn out like this for us, except for Han, but that's because he's pessimistic by default. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I'm worried now, because the names we're being linked with don't exactly arouse my imagination. It's pointless going after Serie A players. Guys like Maksimovic, Soriano, Bertolacci etc. won't help us make that jump in quality that we desperately need. It'll just be a waste of money. Even Imbula doesn't excite me. And then this constantly being linked with Cavani is really annoying. Everyone and their grandmas know we can't afford him.

I still hope I'm wrong, and there is still time, but if July comes and we still don't see any form of effort being done to sign players than it's pretty obvious what's going on

For me, appointing Mihajlovic was a red flag and it's why I was pessimistic to begin with. If you really do have a super ambitious project you don't hire a janitor to overlook it


I don't think the papers know who we're really after now that things have fallen through, I don't even think Galliani knows wtf he should do now.

and yeah, going after Serie A players from mid-table teams is just showing that still nothing has changed. Players from Torino, Parma, Genoa and Samp aren't going to help us to get into the top 3 or possible fight for the title with Juve. Haven't players like Poli, Monto, Bona, etc already proved this over and over for Galliani? I don't know what it will take for him to finally learn.

Soriano is mediocre, Bertolacci would be a decent bench player, better than Poli, Muntari or Essien. But again, he does nothing in terms of the first team.

We need 1 top quality CB, 2 top quality CMs, preferably one being a box-to-box guy and 1 a creator and 1 top quality striker.

But, everything points to Galliani wanting 2 strikers and 1 mid with Witsel being the only decent name we're linked to and none of which are creators, which would leave us with the same problem we had last season of zero creativity and difficulty creating chances and scoring

Mediaset says we're going to offer €15 million for Bertolacci. Galliani will meet with his agent today.

Martinez agent: 'Milan deal not dead yet'

Empoli's sporting director: "We have bought out Saponara from Milan"

Good. Saponara was dead weight anyway.

Apparently Roma and Juve are interested in him.

Milan have been very interested in Nainggolan in the past few days and tried to sign him for €37m [Sky].

I don't know what they seen in him.

Total waste of money if true.

Eh, I saw a few clips on YouTube. He's not bad, and for that money I think he's worth it. But he's not what we need right now. We can't afford to spend €15 million on someone like him.
